I was digging through an old t-shirt drawer and ran across this:

that is cool, I don't think I have seen that artwork or slogan before personally.

do you remember how/where you got it?

like the rest of your collection it looks to be in good shape, was there ever a time you wore it regularly?

Back in the day I got a thing in the mail. If you bought one of the games listed in the flyer and sent in the attached coupon and the UPC off the game they sent you the t-shirt. I still have the mailer if anyone wants to see it too.

I wore the shirt a few times but not much. I never liked the bug-eyed kid though he reminds me of the Ed Roth designs I wore as a kid. I wish the offer had been for a shirt with a simple Sega logo or Sonic or something like that I could better relate to. Of course it still fits because I ordered it as an adult. In fact I never was a gamer as a kid, I was out of college before I got my Genesis (which was my first console). As such, the youth oriented, slightly outrageous graphics on the shirt didn't really appeal to the adult me.

haha! the only kind any contest will ever send you!

And you're like,
"Well at least my grandma can use it as pajamas."
or
"Thanks, I really needed a new comforter."
or
"Gee...I guess I do have an overwieght uncle."
or
"Can't those kids in Myanmar make a comfortably fitting medium for gods sake."

At this point I'd like to apologize to all children working in slave labor conditions in 3rd world contries.

The colour scheme of that controller makes it looks more like a SNES one! XD

I looked over the mailer and it was a promotion for Saturn games. I remember at the end of the Genesis cycle and all through the Saturn and 32X cycles they had all kinds of rebates, buy X amount of games get one free and other get-stuff-free offers like this one. Even Electronic Arts had a buy 1 or 2 get one free as I recall.
